The winter sun peeks through a shoreline tree along Minnesota Point. The sunrise now is earlier and once again rising a bit further north than yesterday. With the Spring Solstice only six weeks away, the promise of warming weather defeats mid-February's cold winds. And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 As surly as Spring will arrive, so will the promises of God be fulfilled.
The beauty of winter is readily apparent along the shore of Lake Superior, and the beach grass along Park Point stands heartily in place throughout the winter season. Amazingly, these plants endure and increase in the harshest climates. May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy. Colossians 1:11 Much like the tough beach grass, we can travel through life with the assurance that our heavenly Father will sustain us through good times and bad.
The transition from day to night transforms the harbor into a winter cityscape of lights and ice. The spectacle of transitioning light from daylight pulls the shades on another day as quiet settles over the Northland landscape. The watchman says: "Morning comes, and also the night. If you inquire, inquire; come back again." Isaiah 21:12 The refreshing awareness that tomorrow is a new day brings refreshment to the heart and peace to the soul.
